The pockets are smaller to decrease the chance of them hanging out during descents

The old sewn-in elastic in the waist was too snug, so we relaxed it an inch and a half. Breathe deep, eat up, stick out in comfort!

We've added mesh to the pockets which allows you to use them as swim trunks without catching water and showing curls.

No more reflective strip at the bottom. If you're concerned about visibility, you already have lights and reflectors, right? This way, you can wear them more places without embarrassing your date.

They're still light, tough, quick-drying textured nylon; as good as ever for riding, hiking, anything that allows shorts allows these.

You can get get similar shorts just as well-made and with more trick features for less, but for riding bikes and all-around use, none beat these, ﻿and ﻿they're made in the U.S. If our profit on them was industry standard, they'd cost more than a $100.
